I don't hate either group. Not the French, not the Polish, and certainly not the Germans (I am 50% German). The reason I don't share the dislike for the French as many Conservative Americans do? Because, like you said, the United States might not be in existence today if not for the French (even though we did wage an unofficial naval war several years after the end of the revolution with them). But, this is really not the topic of this thread so carry on.
I'll start on topic then cunningly switch off topic then.
Errr... Bad week for Microsoft then!
Why do any Americans hate the French? I bet the same people love their precious statue of liberty. Probably don't even know where it came from... <_<
Anyway hating the French is for the English and I'm sick of Americans copying our ideas!
